Stories don’t just inform — they influence how communities see themselves and how institutions are held accountable. This session will explore how communication strategists and filmmakers use narrative to shape culture, deepen public trust and create measurable impact. Drawing from experience producing documentaries and leading strategy-driven campaigns rooted in the South, this mentor will discuss how emerging media professionals can center lived experience, translate complex issues into human stories and move audiences beyond awareness to action. Participants will be challenged to think bigger than content — to think impact — and consider how their storytelling choices shape public perception, credibility and change.

Celebrated for their virtuosity, expressive depth and extraordinary musical synergy, their performances have captivated audiences worldwide and garnered praise from the most prestigious music critics.

Their artistry has been lauded by Gramophone magazine, which wrote: "Moliner is a flautist of pure sound and great technical skill who brings exquisite taste to every phrase, in perfect harmony with Azabagić's shimmering guitar playing… the performance places the duo at the pinnacle of their musical capabilities." In another review, the same publication noted: "Eugenia Moliner casts a shimmering spell… her lines, imbued with youthful innocence, dance over Denis Azabagić's gently pulsating chords. The result is effortlessly and naturally seductive."

The University of Southern Mississippi School of Music Connoisseurs Series is made possible through support from the following: The Arts Endowment, Bob and Judy Mixon, Mr. And Mrs. James Simrall, Jr, Dr. John McLeod III and Bebe McLeod Endowment in the Arts, Nan and Ben Stevens Art and Music Endowment and the Robert N. Kinnaird Jr and Lucille Ehlers Kinnarid Memorial and Partners for the Arts.
